History
Woodland Hills Mall opened in 1976 with Sears, John A. Brown and Dillard's as its first anchor stores, as well as over a hundred specialty stores spread among the mall's two stories. Charles Kober & Associates of Los Angeles were architects for the mall. Sears hired Coleman-Ervin & Associates to design its store. An expansion in 1982 added a fourth anchor, Sanger-Harris, as well as a food court and several additional smaller stores.In 1985, J. C. Penney occupied the site of the defunct Brown chain's store, while the Sanger-Harris store was replaced twice, first by Foley's in 1987, then by Macy's in 2006. The mall itself underwent major renovations in 1995 and in 2014. The facility has been owned since 2002 by the Simon Property Group.
In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off 235 of its properties, including the Sears at Woodland Hills Mall, into Seritage Growth Properties. Three years later, on October 15, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 142 stores nationwide.
On August 22, 2022, it was announced that Scheels All Sports would demolish and replace the Sears anchor at the mall. The new anchor store building opened on October 19, 2024.
